Chapter 190: The Fish Takes the Bait
Hassan stepped forward and handed the letter to Jason, then stepped aside and bowed his brow without saying a word, and he listened to it for the rest of the day.
Suspiciously, he took the letter and opened it, and Jason read the letter expressionlessly, then frowned and looked down for a while, then picked it up again and read it.
Finally, he put down the letter in his hand, turned around and walked out of the castle without saying a word, while Hassan followed Jason in confusion.
The little fox on the side woke up when Hassan came, and now when he saw that Jason was leaving, he hurriedly ran to his side, handed him the coat in his hand, and stood there to watch the two of them leave.
"My lord, what's wrong?"
Seeing Jason's calm face turn on his horse, Hassan quickly stepped forward and mounted a horse and followed him.
"Duke Haile Isaac of the Federation of the Sixteen Kingdoms of Snana led an army of 100,000 through the Great Forest of Landan to attack the hinterland of the kingdom, and the commander of the garrison of Carol City on the periphery of the Great Forest of Landan, Diknache, rebelled and defected to the enemy, and with his help Sinana conquered the province of Carol within a week without a single soldier, and is now facing off with the second heavy armor army of the kingdom on the banks of the Bohr River in the province of Stra. ”
Jason's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were full of anger.
"But it's an opportunity for us. Hassan whispered, wondering why Jason was so angry.
"It doesn't matter to me that Diknausius betrayed the country, but his actions will leave hundreds of thousands of civilians in the heart of the kingdom under constant fire. ”
Jason sneered and said that although the perpetrators should not lose their sense of proportion for the sake of these civilians who have nothing to do with him, Jason still couldn't calm the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"So where are we going now?"
Hassan asked suspiciously, it stands to reason that there is nothing to do with Jason at this time, he just needs to sit quietly in the castle and wait for the battle report from the front.
"Let's go to the barracks, make plans for the next steps, and inform Lucca City of the movement of several nearby provinces. ”
Jason narrowed his eyes, the second heavy armor legion actually drove from Carol City, where he was stationed, to the Bohr River, doesn't this mean that those people in the royal city can already mobilize the legions directly under the royal family?
This was not good news for him, what if the garrisons of the other three northern provinces were also at their disposal?
In case that happens, the army Jason will face will be an army of 10,000.
Moreover, Jason has not yet begun to quell the discordant voices in Lucca Province, and he originally expected that Garcia would have to compete with those old aristocratic forces for a while, and there was still plenty of time.
But I didn't expect these old nobles to directly flip the table and introduce the hungry wolf of the Federation of Sixteen Nations into the kingdom, and now it seems that Jason needs to take the risk to speed up the process of pacifying Lucca Province.
That night, more than a dozen cavalrymen left the barracks in Iron Fang, each in a different direction.
Soon after, more than a dozen blue eagles also took advantage of the night to rise from the barracks, and the entire Iron Tooth Town barracks were suddenly shrouded in a heavy pressure.
"Give this letter to Morando and tell him that Project Nightmare and Project Trapped Beast are ready to be executed. ”
Afterwards, Hassan handed a letter in a corner of the barracks, sealed in a special way, to an ordinary-looking man who was also dressed in ordinary civilian clothes.
"Yes, sir. ”
The man took Hassan's letter with his head bowed and his hands in both hands, and slowly retreated into the shadows in the corner, and then he did not know where he went.
Hassan stood there for a moment before disappearing without warning.
After a while, he appeared in a small forest three or four miles outside of Irontooth Town, where he stood and closed his eyes for a moment, then took a few steps forward and waved his hands.
The ground in front of him suddenly flew with dirt, revealing the corpses of a soldier and his war horse covered below, the soldier's eyes widened, and a deep wound was cut in his throat by a sharp weapon, and the bleeding had already stopped because of the temperature.
There was some consternation on his frozen expression, but there was no look of pain, as if he had been attacked suddenly and unsuspectingly, and he had still been attacked with a single blow.
"Go in peace, your family will be well accommodated. ”
Hassan said calmly with a look in his eyes, then turned to leave, and in a moment someone would come to collect his body.
Soon after, he returned to the castle, looked at Jason respectfully, and said, "Your Excellency, as you expected, a soldier was robbed and killed outside the town, and it was a master who did it. ”
To be able to make a well-trained elite soldier die without even having time to react is definitely an act of someone who has awakened extraordinary powers.
"It's a fish that's about to bite. ”
The corners of Jason's mouth showed a sneering and mocking arc, dangling outside his Iron Tooth Town all day, is it really that his assassination organization is blind?
Hassan has already figured out the details of these people, a group of strong people whose strength is generally at the peak of knights, and they are still hanging outside Iron Tooth Town all day long, their purpose is simply clear at a glance.
If it weren't for the fear of startling the snakes, so that the nobles would not have the courage to continue preparing for their "great cause", and then Jason would have no reason to use his troops, he would have sent Beowulf and Hassan Shunto to clean them all up.
"As for the soldier......"
He paused slightly, for he had sent the dozen or so horsemen out to die, but they themselves were still in the dark.
And the real secret letter is placed on those blue eagles flying high in the sky.
"Let's bury it afterwards, and his family will make proper arrangements. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
....................................
"My lord, this is the letter we intercepted. ”
The next day, in a small town hotel, a black-robed man handed forward a letter in his hand, which was the secret letter of the soldier who died yesterday.
Graham tore it open as soon as he took it, and after a few cursory glances, he handed the letter to the knight Xia Zuo, who was standing beside him.
"God help me, this Jason really can't hold his breath. ”
He smiled, some time ago he was still worried that Iron Fang Town was heavily defended, and his plan was not easy to implement, but now everything is in order after Jason's troop transfer.
"My lord, is this going to be a little too smooth?"
Knight Xia Zuo read the letter back and forth a few times, and then frowned and said, the deployment above is like making way for his own people.
"Uncle Xia Zuo, you are too worried, this is obviously because he has a sense of crisis, and intends to defeat these opponents of him with lightning speed. ”
Graham waved his hand, a little unimpressed, he didn't think Jason would be able to guess their plan, after all, the previous troop movements of various noble forces were to confuse Jason's judgment.
"Then you won't be sending all the masters of Irontooth Town, right?"
The letter said that Beowulf and Lonnado would be sent to the front with all the Iron Tooth and a third of the army to assist Gareth.
It is precisely because of this that Xia Zuo is a little confused, it stands to reason that a person who has been assassinated many times should not care so much about his safety.
"It only means that our bait has worked, and the fish has taken the bait. ”
Graham said with a grin.
